About
Angelo Fraietta is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, performance art, and human-robot interaction. His work explores how audiences perceive and engage with complex, biologically inspired swarming behaviors in non-anthropomorphic robotic systems. Fraietta’s most notable contribution is “The Ghosts of Roller Disco,” a choreographed, interactive performance for robotic roller skates that investigates how human participants understand emergent robotic behaviors within a dramaturgical framework. By using roller skates as innovative, non-humanoid robotic agents, he challenges conventional notions of robotic embodiment and performance. Though his citation count is modest—with his key work garnering 5 citations—Fraietta’s impact lies in his unique interdisciplinary approach, blending robotics, dance, and theater. His research pushes the boundaries of how we perceive and interact with autonomous systems, offering fresh insights into the aesthetics and psychology of human-robot encounters. For students and researchers in human-robot interaction, performance studies, or embodied AI, Fraietta’s work provides a compelling case study in designing meaningful, artistic interactions with non-anthropomorphic robots.
